A tent had appeared mysteriously in a deserted part of town with no explanation as to why. Some people claimed the woman inside said to know your fate. Whatever you wanted was destined to be yours if you visited her. This was exactly why Naruto stood before it.

He shuffled around a bit, and glanced over his shoulder. This part of the village was purely isolated, only a few houses were scattered about in the distance.

Naruto drew back the curtain and stepped inside. Essence assaulted his nose along with the bright defying colors splattered in the interior of the tent leaving him feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"Are you going to come in?" Asked a voice.

Naruto stumbled through the doorway to see a middle aged woman with black stringy hair and bright green eyes. She was hunched over some type of table in the middle of the tent.

"I…I heard you know things." He uttered, looking around the confusing mess of a tent that encircled him.

"Know things, hear things, see things….whatever suits your taste." She replied. An odd expression was plastered on her face, Naruto couldn't quite decide if it was a deepening frown or a faint smile she gave him.

"Why don't you sit down?" She motioned to a stool directly in front of her. There was a hungry look to this woman that made him feel increasingly uncomfortable.

"I'll stand for now." He answered quickly, "I'm here because…It's about a girl."

"Of course." She purred, snatching up some type of food, and slipping it into her mouth. Her long pale fingers were fast and quite large for such a small framed lady.

"Give me your hand." She ordered, holding out her own. Naruto hesitated, he didn't know why but something kept him on guard while he was around her. Then a flash of Hinata in her hospital bed invaded his mind, she needed him.

He took her hand and watched as she closed her eyes in thought.

"There's a lot you don't know about the people around you." She stated, her voice sounding far away, more as if she were talking to herself than him.

"What do you mean?" He questioned, "Who don't I know?"

Suddenly, her eyes shot open with unexpected vibrancy. Naruto jumped back, whipping his hand out of her grasp. She didn't seem to notice as a strange malicious smile spread across her face.

"Someone close to you is in danger!" She exclaimed, grabbing the sides of the table as she spoke. "There's planning…planning…someone's planning."

Naruto store at the women before him with new fear. He watched as she began to whisper non coherent words to herself.

"You've done something regrettable in the past…to her, haven't you?" She asked, after she had seemed to calm down from her outburst.

"Yeah…yeah I did, and I'd do anything to take that back." He replied, still feeling a bit uneasy.

"You're feelings for her are purely in vain, you will not be able to do so…" She paused for a moment, then continued, "A strong leader…who can manipulate elements…he is the one she will fall in love with."

Naruto felt his anger flare and curled his fists in order to control himself. "Gaara? He's nothing to her! I'm the one she should be with! We were fine before…No; this is not going to happen."

The woman store at Naruto and watched him in all his agony. That hungry look resurfaced on her face as she leaned closer to him.

"All I want is for her to talk to me again… to notice me."

"That can be done, you must eliminate the competition…and she's yours." She answered, finally standing up from her seat. Her body was oddly quite tall, and had longer limbs than usual.

"There's someone you must speak to…they'll guide you."She mumbled, replacing a jar she had been eating from into its rightful place.

"Do...I need to pay you?" Naruto asked, inching towards the entrance of the tent.

"Oh don't worry; my payment will come in time."

Hinata and Gaara were almost at the Hyuuga's residence, she smiled faintly as she walked beside him.

After spending some time with him, she now regretted ever standing him up. It was only now that she saw him as someone she could relate to…somewhat.

Hinata glanced up at the red head and watched him in silence. He walked upright, only looking straight ahead. But he also looked deep in thought. What was he thinking? Between looking into crowded stores and starting small talk with each other, she noticed how he would revert to complete silence; pondering the unknown.

"Why are you staring at me?" Gaara asked, focusing his gaze on her.

"I-I'm not." She lied, whipping her head away from his direction and onto the gravel under her feet.

There was silence between them, but she could still feel him watching her.

Her eyes burned as she tried to only look at the roadway, and nothing else. When she couldn't take it anymore she lifted her head only to see her own front steps less than a few feet away.

"D-Did you w-want to come in?" She stuttered, finally looking up at Gaara.

He squinted as the sun shone into his green eyes, "No, I should get going."

Hinata nodded to avoid another stuttering mess. In the distance, she heard the front door of the house click shut, she turned around only to feel her heart drop.

Hanabi stood a few feet away from her still clutching the front knob in her hand. She glanced at Hinata, with a blank face exposing nothing. Her hair was curled into many ringlets, and she wore a revealing outfit showing off her long legs.

Hanabi all but glanced at Gaara then whirled around making her way toward the side of the house, then disappeared around the corner.

"Sorry for my sister's rudeness." Hinata felt herself saying, "She can come of a bit…cold towards people."

After Gaara had left Hinata made her way upstairs and into her bedroom. She pulled open her blinds and scanned the window.

And there she was…

Hinata frowned as she spotted her sister on the back lawn below. She released the blinds again while gritting her teeth.

Do whatever you want to do…Hanabi…
